what would you have been

Growing up we all wanted to be someone like a ballerina dancer, chef, anchor person, president and other things. I wanted to be an anchore woman. I would sit at the table with my newspaper that I made up or sales paper,etc. My parents didn't get the newspaper or magazines so I had to be creative. I would pretend that there was a camera in front of me and I would read the news etc.... What did you want to be? Did you do what you wanted to be?

I wanted to be in the military. I did achieve that, however I didn't achieve the occupation in the military that I wanted. I wanted to be a pilot in the air force but I ended up being a clerk in the army! So, I sort of realized my childhood wish. However I have been medically released from the military due to this chronic pain stuff.

My problem was I couldn't make up my mind. I wanted to be an actress (I have done some local theater, and perform in my church), an archeologist, a marine biologist, and a writer(I am starting to pursue that again).

I always wanted to be independant......bang goes that...always wanted to be a mountain climber, kinda got up a few, but would have loved to be able to do it now....would ahve loved to have been able to make a real difference in people's lives.....help the hungry, homeless etc.

I have achieved a few things that i wanted to.The main one was to have my own business.I opened a beautiful florist shop,i was really proud that it was mine.I decorated all inside myself.It had a beautiful bay fronted window,i enjoyed doing the window displays.I miss not having it now.

I was teaching Sunday school when I was 12 and swimming lessons when I was 14, so I knew where my gift was at a very early age. I've been teaching for 21 years now BUT I always wanted to go into medicine. I have ADD and didn't have the sticktuitness to achieve top marks in the sciences. Still a dream of mine, though. sigh..

I wanted to be a cosmotologist. Thank goodness God new better for me. Now, I know I could not have stood on my feet for that long. I love my job. I now direct all operations of a Housing Authority. It is so awesome to help families who are homeless get a place of their own.

Like Susan, I wanted a houseful of kids, but unlike her, and to the horror of my conservative family, couldn't be convinced that I needed to have a man underfoot to accomplish this....ended up with two kids and traditional husband who sired them before he flew the coupe!!!!At least it was one less boychild underfoot!

So this may seem odd but the last two times I had to take antibiotics for a tooth infection my Graves symptoms got really bad, like full blown bad! Nausea, sweating, shakes, anxiety, terrible fatigue..... and previous to this last time I thought I was in remission!! I was doing so well... such a blow :( just wondering if others have experienced this??

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
